Well I guess I will be the first to post. I spent the weekend cleaning my sewing room. I still need to do a bit more before I can sit down to sew. I should have some yardage to post soon. My biggest obstacle right now is Cub Scout popcorn!!! Hubby piled it all in front of my cutting table!

a receiving blanket made using my new hemmer foot, so I figure it out before I use it on the cool dress that is all done except for the hems that's been a UFO for three years now (curse getting pregnant before it was done, okay not really, but it amuses me).

Well, I am starting off with a bang.. But, I had a Circle meeting last night and for this month we needed to bring baby items.. So, it just worked out fine with the contest.. I saved all the sewing till yesterday, so I made 6 receiving blankets and 15 baby washcloths. 6 blankets @ 1 yard each.. the 15 washcloths equal 2 yards of 60 inch fabric. the T-shirt is 1 1/4 yard of leftover fabric from my Mom's last halloween costume I made her 6 years ago.. Its the start of my halloween costume.. I have an applique on the front of it of a witch with a frog at her feet and she is saying " I am the treat"... Its old also.. The flannel for the blankets is 3 or 4 years old. The knits for the washcloths is 6-9 years old..(bits and pieces of different prints) I will probably end up in last place after this start, but that will be allright.. I have to get some of this stash out of the way.. I am having trouble walking in there.. LOL

I finally got my curtains made for me sewing room. Now I just am waiting for Ds to put up the rods. If he doesn't in the next few days I will this weelend.I bought the fabric in April when we were moving things around. It has been on & off my desk since then. I finally cut them out, serge hemmed the sides & bottom & made a rod pocket. They took me about 2 hrs. for 6 panels.

I finished my red shirt. The package says 2.5 yards but because of the way I cut it it took the whole 3 yards (Hey, I'm easy but not cheap ).It is a plain red linen that has been on my shelf for more than two years.Kind of a "big shirt" style with long sleeves and no cuffsI perked it up a little with a little flapper button at the top and used plain red buttons for the rest of it. I have been using Nancy Zieman's method for collars. Boy, do they look good that way.There's a kicker here though, Gina.I started it before Oct. 1.I decided to list it because I'm not going to be one of the top contenders so if I'm cheating it won't matter.I'll let you decide. I think you should keep it in so I don't look so pitiful in the end.
